How It Works:
The Berkeley Unified School District (BUSD)
assigns new students to schools based on the "zone" they
live in. There are three zones in Berkeley, roughly three parallel strips
stretching from the hills to the bay.
In each zone, there are 3-4 elementary schools and one middle school.
All students attend Berkeley High School. To find out which zone you live in, see the
District Map on the BUSD website.
For elementary school (K-5) you may request your top three choices, but ultimately, BUSD decides which school you are assigned to, based on the census tract you live in (income, education level, etc.). Once assigned to a school, you may request to be wait-listed at your preferred school, but there is no guarantee you will be assigned to a different school. See parent discussions about this.
